Mumford & Sons
The Brightest Lights
[Chorus & Intro]
The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that's where I'll be found
For what's hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight hounds
[Verse 1]
Oh, the dawn light sweeps all the shadows clean
Of what's gathered in the night
Hang the villains and the crooks high on butcher's hooks
As they run from the sun in fright
Oh, the moonlight shadows are fleeting and scattered
Where memories and prophecies are slain
Only the moment you're in can delight in sin
So forget your regrets and pains
[Chorus]
The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that's where I'll be found
For what's hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight hounds
The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that's where I'll be found
For what's hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight hounds
[Verse 2]
Well, the twilight shivers as darkness is risen
Cold ash poured over the sun
For the sun to rise again He must go through Hell
To see what the darkness has done
The depraved are tamed, caught in pleasure's chains;
Oh, willingly surrendering
There's a song to your soul while you bow to gold
This song the angels sing
[Chorus]
The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that's where I'll be found
For what's hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight hounds
[Bridge]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
[Chorus & Outro]
The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that's where I'll be found
For what's hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight hounds
The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows (Shadows)
And that's where I'll be found (Found)
For what's hiding by the morning (Morning)
Will be chased by daylight hounds (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows
And that's where I'll be found
For what's hiding by the morning
Will be chased by daylight hounds
